MILWAUKEE – April 6, 2016 -- Johnson Controls announced today it is partnering on an initiative to replace HVAC rooftop equipment at 225 Target stores. The initiative is a three-year project that entails installing 3,600 York Predator series packaged rooftop units to maximize energy savings through more efficient HVAC equipment at stores eight years or older.

The York rooftop units feature energy-saving technologies including variable-speed drives, California Title 24-compliant economizers and new Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) specifically designed for retailers.

The project is delivered by the YORK National Accounts team in partnership with Minneapolis-based Midwest Mechanical Solutions. The units are made with American quality and will help set the standard for Johnson Controls commercial packaged rooftop equipment offered to national accounts like Target.

“We provide our customers with dependable, easy-to-maintain systems that reduce energy costs and total cost of ownership,” said Dominic Ticali, National Accounts sales manager with Johnson Controls’ Building Efficiency. “By teaming up with Target, we’re continuing to showcase our unmatched customer service and strong product portfolio.”
